Is the Grandmaster Tieyin student so simple? You were completely mistaken.” “第二,你以为林川只是一个思维开阔的新晋机械师？只是铁因大师的学生那么简单？那你就大错特错了。” Motena is bewildered, she and Lin Chuan have gathered twice meal in private, thought that this youngster was ordinary new promote Mechanic, if the unusual place, were not eccentric like general Mechanic. 默特娜一脸茫然,她和林川私下聚过两次餐,觉得这个年轻人就是一个普通的新晋机械师呀,如果说与众不同的地方,就是不像一般的机械师那么孤僻。 Benny sighed, smoked two cigarettes, said: „As the senior, today I teach you well. Do you know? This Mechanic qualifications inspection, I a moment ago investigates passed/lived, ranking of Lin Chuan this youngster about 200.” 本尼叹了口气,又吸了两口烟,道:“身为前辈,今天我就好好教教你吧。你知道么？这次机械师资格考核,我刚才查过了,林川这个年轻人的排名在两百名开外。”
